We don't buy stars, we make them: RR coach after being eliminated from IPL 2025 playoffs race

Rajasthan Royals have been called out several times in the ongoing IPL 2025 season for their poor auction strategy. They have paid heavy bucks for the likes of Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel, but the cricketers haven’t done justice to the price tags. Jurel was retained for INR 14 crore and Hetmyer for INR 11 crore, and that invited criticism in RR’s way, especially as the team management released the likes of Jos Buttler, Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult among others.
